Today was the release of Bootstrap Studio so I took an early look at the software.
For those that don’t want to watch the video, the tl;dr version:
- You need a decent grasp of CSS and bootstrap to use this application. It’s not for beginners; there is no help in app.
- It makes some tasks easier, but a lot of tasks are harder/slower.
-
The software is very MVP/”1.0″. Lots of rough edges and issues.
The features I liked:
Live view / hot reload
Shows the active CSS for that specific element, but won’t show you CSS from parent elements.
Issues I had:
Copy/Paste doesn’t work on OSX right now (does on Windows)
As I say in the video, I really want to like Bootstrap Studio but it’s more of a pain than a help. At this point I’d suggest skipping it and sticking to using your favorite IDE (or text editor) and viewing pages in a regular web browser.
